Safety and Preparation
- Gear Up: Always wear a helmet and gloves as a minimum. Consider full protective gear: boots, knee pads, spine armor.
- Bike Check: Ensure brakes are functioning well. The rear wheel should lock with one finger on the brake.
- Practice Environment: Start on grass or with a trainer. Avoid practicing alone.
- Attitude: Have fun and be patient. Learning takes time and practice.
The Basics of Wheelies
- Golden Rule: Always keep a finger on the rear brake and remind yourself to use it.
- Balance Point Concept: Much like leaning back on a chair to a tipping point. Aim for the balance point with one pedal stroke.
Pedal Bike Wheelies
- Preparation: Focus on the dominant pedal position and pull the handlebars evenly.
- Execution: Use a strong pedal stroke, pull back on the bars with weight thrown back into the seat, and look at the horizon for balance.
